Their Far Out performance, captured within Chicago’s Red Devil Tattoo, showcases the duo’s musical prowess as they traverse through soundscape fields of noise pop, early-aughts R&B, and tender witch house.

Fiddlehead

Audiotree — Mon, 18 Sep 2023 17:00:00 +0000

Fiddlehead performs “Lay Low“ & "15 to Infinity" at Cheney Mansion in Oak Park, IL.

A post-hardcore band with a muscular attack and emo leanings, Fiddlehead is staffed by former members of Massachusetts punk outfit Have Hear and UK band Basement. After releasing their 2014 EP 'Out of the Bloom," the band was surprised by fans' enthusiastic response and what had originally been a one-off project became one of the premiere bands shaping the face of post-hardcore today. Fiddlehead's strength lies within their ability to juxtapose feelings together and pour them all out track after track, offering clean tones and cleansing instrumentals that help guide Patrick Flynn's distraught, and often frantic, vocals. Fiddlehead have never sounded more gargantuan than during their performance of “Fifteen to Infinity ” and "Lay Low," in Oak Park, IL's historic Cheney Mansion.

Wombo

Audiotree — Mon, 11 Sep 2023 18:00:00 +0000

Wombo “Slab“ & "Snakey" at Oakwood 83 in Chicago, IL.

The weird world of Wombo is a kaleidoscopic journey of sharp turns and surprising visions, a melting pot of influences with a cheeky cheshire-cat grin that coalesce into a trippy but infinite universe, a portal into their unique vantage point without limitation. Committed to living outside the traditionally-heralded country sound of the music scene in their hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, Sydney Chadwick (vocals), Cameron Lowe (guitar), and Joel Taylor (drums) have found a winning combination of more straightforward indie rock combined with Chadwick’s pitched up, oscillating vocals and unpredictable shifts in melody are catapulting the band forward at an impressive pace. During their Far Out performance at Chicago's Oakwood 83, the band careens across avant pop, psych, and wonky post punk interludes with a sky’s-the-limit approach to translating the mundanity of regular life into their own high-frequency language. Check out Wombo on Audiotree Far Out!
